    Ep. 068 - Setting a Financial Finish Line for Savings

    At what point have we saved enough? In this episode, we explore the challenging question of when to stop saving and start redirecting resources toward God's kingdom. Financial advisors typically encourage endless saving, but what if faith calls us to a different approach? We discuss setting a savings "finish line," trusting Jesus with our finances, and balancing wise stewardship with generosity. • Generous Giving Talk: https://generousgiving.org/heather-tuininga-2022-celebration-of-generosity-full/ • Generous Giving Talk Handout: https://generousgiving.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Discerning_Handout_rev01.pdf How do we ensure our wealth aligns with our faith?

    Is wealth always a blessing, or can it become a burden? In this episode, we explore the paradox of prosperity through the biblical story of Abraham and Lot.
